India's Freight Corridor: Pillars Demolished, Questions Raised

India's Freight Corridor: Pillars Demolished, Questions Raised

Imagine a new train track being built, and after some parts are finished, they have to be taken down!

This happened with a freight train project in India.

Workers tore down 14 completed pillars and a deck slab, which are parts of a bridge.

People are asking why, because it seems like a waste of money and time.

The project was already behind schedule, and this might make it even later.

Some people think it's due to bad planning or design problems.

Officials haven't explained why yet, but it's a problem because the freight train line is supposed to help move important things like goods and food around the country.
